This season, highlights include the world premiere performances of his new opera Das kalte Herz, which he will conduct at Staatsoper Berlin and later at l’Opéra-Comique in a French reprise titled Nuit sans aube.

As guest conductor, Pintscher makes debuts with the Oregon Symphony and Munich Philharmonic and returns to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Barcelona Symphony, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Boulez Ensemble. Recent highlights include tours with the Kansas City Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, as well as debuts with the Oslo Philharmonic and the Spanish National Orchestra.

On the operatic stage, Pintscher has conducted several productions for the Berliner Staatsoper (Wagner’s Lohengrin and The Flying Dutchman and Beat Furrer’s Violetter Schnee), Wiener Staatsoper (Olga Neuwirth’s Orlando), and Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

Pintscher is known equally as one of today’s foremost composers. His works appear frequently on the programs of major symphony orchestras throughout the world. He was composer in residence at Junge Deutsche Philharmonie for the 2023/24 season, and in August 2021 he was the focus of the Suntory Hall Summer Festival—a weeklong celebration of his works with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra as well as a residency by Ensemble Intercontemporain with symphonic and chamber music performances. Pintscher has been a professor at The Juilliard School since 2014 and is published by Boosey & Hawkes.
